2. You know, the MRFF used to actually work on cases that I could see legitimately needed

But lately they seem to have jumped the shark into crying wolf over nothing.

I looked at this case, and I don’t see any violations or accusations of violations that are at all near the hype that MRFF is using of abuse of power, far right Christian nationalism or people being in “mortal fear”.

Essentially the General has a website that he does on his own time, paid for by his own money, where he talks about his religious beliefs. It doesn’t even mention him by name on the website, you have to follow a link to an interview with him on another website to even find out who runs the site.

The only mention of the Air Force at all is the bio section about the website author that mentions among all his other history that he is an Air Force General.

That’s it. No accusations he ever told any subordinates to visit the site, no accusations he was pushing his agenda while in uniform, no accusations he used government facilities or did it during duty hours.

The entire crux of the complaint is that he has a website he maintains on his personal time with his personal funds.

Hysteria like they are spinning over such a complaint that is, in reality, very trivial is what causes organizations like MRFF tonstart losing credibility.
